      Your brain has just 'understood' itself, even if you have no idea how 'tired' works. ...
      A brain can understand a brain, but only to a degree. Collectively, our brains can understand a brain, however, and could build devices that do completely simulate a brain.
      In short "Yes": )

      Brain: Parts & functions (Fore, mid & hind) (video) | Khan Academy (7)

      Cerebrum is the main part of the brain, which helps in thinking, and processing information, and memory, and what-not. It's the center of human intelligence.

      Hypothalamus has many vital, like so-important-you-can't-live-without-it functions like:
      releasing hormones for the pituitary gland to produce growth hormones,
      • regulating body temperature,
      controlling emotions like hunger, thirst, lust etc.

      Pituitary gland is the master gland of our body. And as the name suggests, it:
      • regulates the work of all other endocrine glands, and
      releases the Growth-Stimulating Hormone (GSH), which results in the height and basically, the overall growth of the body.

      Hope this helps and if I'm mistaken, I apologize and please let me know. :)

      Diencephalon consists of pineal gland, thalamus and hypothalamus.

      Pineal gland is located near the centre of the brain. It releases melatonin which affects the wake and sleep patterns. It also affects reproduction development.

      Thalamus gland is located above the brain stem which relays sensory and motor signals to the brain (specifically, the cerebral cortex).

      Hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain near the pituitary gland. It plays an important role in the release of many hormones.For example, when the level of growth hormone is low, the hypothalamus releases growth-hormone-releasing-factor which stimulates the pituitary gland to release the growth hormone.
      It also regulates body temperature.

      hope this explanation helped you and if there's anything incorrect, please let me know.

    What about the Olfactory Lobes of the Forebrain? Could you explain that, please? Also if I am right, the forebrain consists of the Olfactory Lobes, the Cerebrum and the Diencephalon.
